Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 38

Chapter 038 Regeneration Incident
The weather in early October was no longer as sultry as it was in September. A few gentle bird chirps cut through the lonely courtyard, bringing with it a dense sense of vitality.

Chun Lan slowly walked in and placed a cup of mung bean sauce on Yun Xiao’s table. “Miss, it’s only early in the morning when Magpie entered our courtyard. There must be something good going on.”

Yun Xiao put down the ledger in her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. Looking out through the open window, she saw a magpie parked on a plum tree in the northwest corner. Magpie was originally a lucky bird, reporting good luck but not bad luck. Many wealthy families were looking forward to seeing magpie filling their doors.

Yun Xiao was also in a good mood, ‘”What a magpie.” She had been recuperating in the courtyard these past few days, so she took the books of the Yun Clan’s property shop. In her previous life, she was not interested in these books, nor had she seen them. In this life, she was very interested. There were many things that she could not understand. Li Ji asked Manager Lu of Yun Lai Restaurant to explain them. Yun Xiao had learned a lot from them.

Not only that, she had also studied quite a few fresh foods these past few days. Although they weren’t as innovative as the foods in the shops under the county princess Hui Ning’s name, they were more unique in taste. Now, she had already developed a recipe.

No wonder magpies came.

Just as Yun Xiao’s voice fell, the bead curtain moved slightly. Chun Mei respectfully walked in with an unsightly expression on her face. “Young lady, the third young lady is making trouble in the ancestral hall again. Old Madam and Sun shi have already passed. Qiushuang, the maidservant beside Old Madam, please come and take care of them.”

Yun Xiao’s expression did not change. Ever since Shen Yingfan said that he wanted to marry Yun Yao, With confidence, she made a ruckus at home. She was picky about food. She changed her way of looking for things. Yun Xiao went there once, but she became even more fierce. She asked for materials to make clothes for the child later, and said that she liked to hire a doctor later … There were countless such things that Yun Xiao was used to.

Yun Xiao picked up a bowl of mung bean sauce on the table and took a sip. She felt that the dryness that had just risen had disappeared. She chuckled and said, “Let her make a fuss.” The more noisy it was, the easier it would be for something to happen.

Chun Mei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the young lady ignored her. However, she remembered Qiu Shuang’s words just now and knitted her brows again. “Young lady, the old lady has already called the young lady over. If the young lady ignores her, I’m afraid that the young lady will be unlucky.”

Yun Xiao frowned. This Madam Yuan! Seeing that he couldn’t take care of himself, he began to cause trouble for his mother. “Since that’s the case, let’s go take a look. Let Li Jibei have a carriage. I’ll be leaving the manor later,” said Weilong between his eyebrows.

Chun Mei answered and went down. Yun Xiao called Chun Lan to take the things she wanted to bring out. However, just as she walked to the door, Chun Zhu trotted in front of her. Behind her was a weak Chun Lin. “Miss, Miss Chun Lin said that she had almost recovered. She can serve Miss now.”

Yun Xiao’s gaze sized up Chun Zhu’s face. The corner of her mouth hooked slightly, revealing a faint smile, “Is that so?”

Chun Lin had already walked over. His body trembled and he was a little afraid. His pitch-black eyes carried a hint of nervousness. “Young lady, this servant’s body has recovered. I can do something now.”

Yun Xiao looked at Chun Lin and suddenly laughed, “You saved my life. Even if you don’t do anything, it doesn’t matter. Continue to rest for a few more days. Otherwise, your body will be exhausted and I will feel guilty.”

Chun Lin immediately took a few steps forward nervously and knelt down. “Young lady, this servant’s body is clear. If it weren’t for the young lady saving her, how could this servant survive? Besides, this servant is this servant. How can this servant rest on her own?”

Hearing that, Yun Xiao’s face became a little more thoughtful. She did not make this request earlier and did not make it later. Instead, she made such a request when she was about to go out. She was truly’loyal ‘to herself. She smiled lightly and helped Chun Lin up. “Since that’s the case, then you can go out with me today.”

No matter what, Chun Lin had already hung up the name of a first-class maidservant, so he couldn’t just let her go cold like this.

The group went out the door and directly went to the ancestral hall. As soon as they entered, they saw Madam Lu kneeling outside the ancestral hall. Madam Yuan and Madam Sun were sitting inside the ancestral hall, while Yun Yao was sitting at the bottom, leisurely eating tea. There was no discomfort at all.

The corner of his mouth curled into a faint sneer as he saluted, “Granddaughter greets grandmother.”

The smile on Madam Yuan’s face immediately froze when he saw Yun Xiao. He held the teacup in his hand to Yun Xiao’s face. Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly annoyed. She took a step back and looked at Madam Yuan. “What does grandmother mean?”

When Mrs. Yuan saw that Yun Xiao actually dared to hide, her expression became even more furious. “Yun Xiao, you are so bold. You actually dared to give your third sister fetal medicine in the food.”

When Yun Xiao heard this, she felt like laughing. If she wanted to give Yun Yao the abortion medicine, she would have taken it a few days ago. How could she have waited until now? “Why would grandmother say that I was the one who took the abortion medicine?”

“Who else could it be if it wasn’t you? The Yun Clan only counts you as thinking about your third sister giving birth. Besides, your mother is responsible for all the food she eats, or is it your mother who took the medicine?”

Yun Xiao was now able to recall the whole story, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. “This medicine was not given by me or my mother, so it should be given by someone else, right?”

Just as she finished her sentence, Yun Yao, who was leisurely eating tea, picked up a handkerchief and covered the corner of her eyes. She sobbed pitifully, “Grandmother, you have to make the decision for your granddaughter. She is pregnant with your great-grandson.”

With tears streaming down her cheeks, I felt pity for her. She really is a beauty! Unfortunately, Yun Xiao no longer had the slightest interest in what Yun Yao had done. “Making the decision? Third sister’s words are funny. Did she know that she was a brother before she was born? Perhaps she was a sister.” She remembered that Yun Yao’s first child had a sister.

Yun Yao’s expression turned cold as she sobbed, “Is Fourth Sister jealous of me?”

Yun Xiao shook her head and laughed, “I’m not interested. I don’t even want a man like that for me. However, it’s quite suitable to be paired with Third Sister.” They were all the same petty and shameless.

“Yun Xiao, am I asking about the drug?” When Madam Yuan heard this, he knew that something was wrong, and his gaze on Yun Yao was cold.

She patted her hand and saw Li Ji carrying a maid over. “I didn’t take the medicine, but if grandmother wants to know who did it, I can find the culprit for grandmother.”

After the maidservant entered, her body shrunk into a ball and greeted everyone in the room. Then, she respectfully said, “Old Madam, this medicine was given by this servant. This servant is Xiangyun, the food preparation maidservant in the dining room.”

Yun Xiao snorted coldly. Obviously, she didn’t care. “Tell me everything you know.”

Xiangyun respectfully replied, He kicked his head hard and said, “It’s all my fault. I almost hurt the third young lady for money.” She took out the remaining medicine in her arms and placed it in front of Madam Yuan and Madam Sun. ‘”Yesterday, this servant went out shopping with Mama Wang, who was in charge of shopping. He was kidnapped halfway. That person gave this servant 50 taels of silver and asked this servant to put this medicine into the food of the third young miss. He said that after the matter was done, he would give this servant another 100 taels. After this servant left, I was worried. When I turned around, I heard that person address the person inside as Mrs. Shen.”

Mrs. Shen? How many other Madam Shen in the capital are connected to the Yun Family? Everyone was stunned, and Mrs. Yuan was even more unconvinced. “You actually said nonsense. Someone, beat him to death!”

Someone had already walked over and was about to drag Xiangyun down to execute him. Xiangyun was so scared that her body trembled. She kept begging for mercy, “I beg Old Madame to spare my life. This servant no longer dared to do so.”

Yun Xiao chuckled and the corner of her mouth curled up. “Grandmother, why are you so angry? It’s not too late to get angry when Xiangyun has finished speaking.”

Madam Yuan stared at Xiangyun with killing intent in his eyes. “Continue, if there’s a lie, I’ll kill you today.”

Xiang Yun said with a trembling voice and tears in her eyes, “Yes, this servant heard the person inside call Mrs. Shen, She also heard Madam Shen say that Young Master Shen’s servant girl in the manor was pregnant with Young Master Shen’s child. That servant girl was given to Young Master Shen by Madam Shen. Madam Shen also said that before Third Young Miss entered the manor, she had already made Young Master Shen and her mother and son centrifuge. After the manor passed, there was no peaceful day, so she asked this servant to give medicine to Third Young Master.

What she said was elegant, and no one could not believe it. Yun Yao had already cried with her handkerchief, “How could this be? I don’t believe it!” As he spoke, he was about to run out.

There were already two mothers outside to stop her. Mrs. Sun anxiously said, “Mother, you have to make the decision for Yao Yao. Madam Shen will definitely not do such a thing. It’s all because of this Xiangyun’s nonsense. Someone came and dragged her down to die with a cane.”

Naturally, Xiangqiao did not answer. She cried and begged for mercy, but Madam Yuan had already made up her mind to let the people beside her pull her down. Hearing the begging from outside, Yunxiao did not have the slightest intention of asking for mercy. This way, she would betray her master’s maidservant for the sake of money. It was unlikely that someone would bribe her again one day.

Yun Xiao saw that Madam Yuan and Madam Sun were looking at her angrily. Instead, she smiled softly, “If grandmother wants to verify that what the maid said is correct, she just needs to ask if Young Master Shen’s maid is pregnant. Third Sister didn’t marry him, and the people next to Young Master Shen have children. How will Third Sister live in the future?”

As she spoke, she walked out, completely ignoring the two people behind her who were eyeing her covetously.

Yun Yao and Yun Xiao’s gazes met. They saw a faint mockery in her eyes. She felt a chill in her heart. There was actually a feeling in her heart that Yun Xiao had already known that Shen Yingfan’s maidservant was pregnant. That was why she had agreed to cancel the marriage so quickly. Yet, she had actually stupidly bumped into her.

In her daze, Yun Xiao had already walked past her and helped Madam Lu, who was kneeling outside, up. “Mother, it’s fine. Let’s go back. It’s windy here. Let’s go back.”

Wasn’t the wind strong? A little bit of things could blow the wind onto him.

However, with this matter, no matter how noisy Yun Yao and the others were, they wouldn’t be able to come to her. They could also relieve some of the pressure on Madam Lu and herself.

However, the Shen Clan was going to have a strong wind.

At this moment, Chun Mei walked over and bowed softly. “Miss, the noble one has arrived.”
